Leak Detection in Olympia: what is different here
Olympia's older homes in Carlyon and South Capitol may still have galvanized pipe that leaks at threaded joints, often in a crawlspace. Out toward Boston Harbor, many rural homes run on wells. We take I-5 south past Joint Base Lewis-McChord, about 40 minutes, and track leaks with thermal imaging.
